Research to Business projects

Terkko Health Hub offers a complimentary membership to all University of Helsinki-affiliated Research to Business Projects. We are happy to support them as they become the new thriving spinouts!

Connections to the Industry

At Terkko Health Hub, we bridge the gap between health and life science research and real-world impact by connecting researchers to industry leaders. We organize events that bring together academics, corporates, and grant foundations, creating opportunities for collaboration, funding, and commercialization of innovative ideas. Through industry-focused workshops, networking sessions, and pitch events, we enable researchers to showcase their work, gain valuable insights, and build relationships with key stakeholders.

Past Activities

Whether it was running pre-incubator programmes, corporate collaborations, or monthly webinars – schedules shifted, priorities evolved, and for one reason or another, we stopped. While those activities were valuable, we’ve moved on to new things, leaving them in the past.
